My experience in Germany is quite the oposit, they don't wanna talk in english and will entretain your broken german unless they literally can't unterstand you.
Even in the street I am approached in german and "I do not look german" at all.
It probably depends on where in Germany you are. One time in Berlin I started on my broken German and they reacted with a big question mark, and then back to English.
And 20-30 years ago you had to use German most places.
Yeah, Berlin is a diferent breed. They will speak english to you there, is quite common.
